OLYMPICS-RUSSIA

Weightlifting federation bans Russians

UNDATED (AP) — The International Weightlifting Federation is fed up with Russia. It has banned the Russian federation and its weightlifters from the Rio Olympics, giving those eight spots to other countries.

The banning means well over 100 Russians overall have now been barred from taking part in the Summer Games.

The IWF says that the multiple cases of doping by Russian weightlifters have "seriously damaged" the integrity of the sport.

IOC leaders will meet in Rio de Janeiro this weekend to review the final preparations for the Summer Games and deal with the fallout from the doping scandal that has led to the exclusion of more than 100 Russian athletes. The meeting comes less than a week after the IOC board decided not to ban Russia's entire team from the games because of state-sponsored doping, leaving it up to individual sports federations to vet which athletes could compete or not. Opening ceremonies are next Friday.
